The landscape of somatic mutation in cerebral cortex of autistic and neurotypical individuals revealed by ultra-deep whole-genome sequencing

open access: yes, 2021
We characterize the landscape of somatic mutations-mutations occurring after fertilization-in the human brain using ultra-deep (~250×) whole-genome sequencing of prefrontal cortex from 59 donors with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 15 control donors ...

Timing the initiation of multiple myeloma

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The initial mutational processes and how these lead to progression in multiple myeloma (MM) are unclear. Here, the authors identify mutational signatures that occur over time in a large cohort of MM patients and suggest features that may help in early ...

Generating realistic null hypothesis of cancer mutational landscapes using SigProfilerSimulator

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2020
Background Performing a statistical test requires a null hypothesis. In cancer genomics, a key challenge is the fast generation of accurate somatic mutational landscapes that can be used as a realistic null hypothesis for making biological discoveries ...

Identification of Somatic Mutation-Driven Immune Cells by Integrating Genomic and Transcriptome Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Tumor somatic mutations in protein-coding regions may generate neoantigens which may trigger antitumor immune cell response. Increasing evidence supports that immune cell response may profoundly influence tumor progression.

Unified classification and risk-stratification in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Classification and risk-stratification for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) at diagnosis are primarily based on cytogenetics and only a few gene mutations. Here, the authors study the genomic landscape of 3653 AML patients and characterize 16 non-overlapping

Clinicoprognostical features of endometrial cancer patients with somatic mtDNA mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been found in a subset of endometrial cancers (EC) from different populations. We have investigated the relationship between mtDNA changes and clinical and pathological variables of women affected by ...

Factors influencing cancer genetic somatic mutation test ordering by cancer physician

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Background Clinical whole exome sequencing was introduced in an Australian centre in 2017, as an alternative to Sanger sequencing. We aimed to identify predictors of cancer physicians’ somatic mutation test ordering behaviour.

COOBoostR: An Extreme Gradient Boosting-Based Tool for Robust Tissue or Cell-of-Origin Prediction of Tumors

open access: yesLife, 2022
We present here COOBoostR, a computational method designed for the putative prediction of the tissue- or cell-of-origin of various cancer types. COOBoostR leverages regional somatic mutation density information and chromatin mark features to be applied ...

Inactivation and inducible oncogenic mutation of p53 in gene targeted pigs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mutation of the tumor suppressor p53 plays a major role in human carcinogenesis. Here we describe gene-targeted porcine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and live pigs carrying a latent TP53(R167H) mutant allele, orthologous to oncogenic human mutant TP53 ...

Can somatic GATA2 mutation mimic germ line GATA2 mutation? [PDF]

open access: yesBlood Advances, 2018
Key Points Somatic GATA2 mutation is associated with immunodeficiency and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in a patient with myeloproliferative neoplasm.
